My game exploded and now clones are taking up my genetic possiblities...

It sounds like the father has a dominant nose, while the mother doesn't. This is why all the kids are getting his nose. If both parents have a dominant nose, then the offspring could inherit either nose.
The SimDNA cheat can tell you which characteristics are dominant, although I believe debug mode has to be turned on in your userstartup.cheat file for this particular cheat to work. If you don't want to turn on debug mode in your userstartup.cheat, you can open the neighbourhood in SimPE and look at the parents' DNA to see which facial characteristics are dominant for them, and compare with their offspring's DNA.
While I have seen many threads both here & elsewhere explaining how eye & hair dominance works in the game, I don't think I've ever seen a thread explaining why a particular sim's chin or nose is dominant. I just know (from looking at their DNA) that sims have some dominant facial features, and that the offspring will inherit the dominant features.

How do I look at it through SimPE? I just got it once I reinstalled everything on my computer but I'm kinda scared to fudge up something while playing around with it. And I really wouldn't know where to look to open the families file in there unless I have to do the upload lot thing or.....Eh....I'm about to say fux this and hope it never happens again....But I'm stubborn so I have to know how now.... I kinda see their are some files with the SimPE but I don't have adobe up on my computer again but I'm thinking that's the format for the instruction manual or whatever it is. So I'll try reading that see if it'll tell me. But thanks again.

Here's a tutorial on MTS2. Specifically, it's about editing genetics for NPCs, but the first section covers steps to view DNA in SimPE. Note that for hair/skin/eyes, you will need to translate the DNA codes.

Thanks I will look through that and hopefully I'll figure out everything. If I don't I'll come back? I don't understand why my friends seem to think everyone on this site is more non-helpful and mean. Must be they aren't used to sims merged with the chans I guess...

We find we get quite a few people coming here with questions.
Unfortunately many of them don't ask their question(s), as you did. They demand, whine, and insist on being spoonfed the answers right NOW!!!! These are the ones who find us non-helpful and mean. If people are going to treat us like dirt when they want something from us, then we're not going to be nice back to them. OTOH, if people have used some basic netiquette, demonstrated some common sense, and/or taken the time to read the FAQ before they ask their question(s) then they do find us helpful.
